Funny you should say that......this is not our GM By THOMAS HIRSCHMANN The Financial Post The Toronto Stock Exchange has taken note of the proliferation of Internet rumors about listed companies with a set of proposed electronic communications guidelines. The guidelines, released yesterday, are primarily intended to provide standards for information posted for investors on the Internet. They also suggest ways for companies to respond to rumors in chat or news groups. The TSE "recommends against a company participating on a chat-room or news group to dispel or clarify a rumor." Instead, the firm should tell the TSE's market surveillance unit, and if the data is false and influencing the share price, it should consider issuing a news release. The TSE also wants companies to "prohibit its employees from participating in Internet chat rooms or news groups in talks relating to the company or its securities." All postings on company Web sites must conform to TSE and securities regulators' disclosure rules. The exchange said the aim of the guidelines is to set a standard for information disseminated on Web sites aimed at investors. It recommends all information given to analysts and institutional investors be made available to all investors via the Web, but promotional material should be excluded. The guidelines are posted on the TSE Web site, tse.com, for comment until Oct. 31, when they will be revised and issued in final form. I wonder what position this stock would be in now if the traffic on this thread were governed by a similar set of rules as formal company announcements. I would suspect that there would be much less confusion about what's going on, and that maybe a lot less individuals would have gotten caught in the original GC hype way back...still thinking long...but tired! Thoughts...anyone? GM

"I would hypothesize Stallone (he wishes?) is actually Mr. Muir, or Mr. Muir had a direct hand in it. I wonder if he realized "trial member" would pop up? I wonder what the legal ramifications are of that type of deception?" I would hypthesize that JRB is actually Luc Beaugrand, or Beaugrand had a direct hand in it. I wonder if he realized that other posters here could pop up his profile and see for themselves that he's only been posting since May 29 and that 15 of the 17 posts he's made have been to attack a company he doesn't even own stock in. Who would pay $150 US just do that except a loser with a personal vendetta or a short. "Alan Whirlwind, you got lucky, or if you think it was skill, good luck." The price of silver dropped $1.50 and the stock was still selling at .66. I was neither lucky nor skillful. I was smart. "It is also not polite to chortle over someone getting taken." JRB, look what the overall market has done in the last couple of years. What in the world were you doing sticking your dough in some iffy pennystock in the first place? Most any S&P mutual fund in the market would have done you nicely. If you only risked a small amount, then shrug it off like a man who has some balls and move on. If you risked what you couldn't afford to lose it was your own greed that was the main catalyst for your loss here. "Honesty should have a place in this world, even though, in the case of the controllers of this outfit, it seems the word got lost or twisted dramatically." Look at you. You obviously want to destroy this company's liquidity and share price. You don't give a damn about other investors who might yet hope for the company to make it. All you care about is revenge. I don't mind one or two or even three posts to vent and leave a record for other investors to check up on. But your venomous vendetta is a child's reaction to the vicissitudes of this sort of market and is a bore to anyone of substance. Beyond venting, one could on occasion, in a polite fashion, ask a few pertinent questions about the company's affairs. This would benefit all concerned. But to ridicule and demean, as for example, someone's wife as if a child just back from scribbling with chalk on an outhouse wall, such behavior leaves you and your cohorts with little credibility. --AG
